  Background: The trunk plays a vital role in limb excursion and manipulation. Hence core muscle strength invariably affects the performance of the upper extremity skills. Thus this study tried to determine the correlation between core muscle strength and handwriting speed among College students. Methodology: 100 subjects were selected based on the selection criteria. Initially the core muscle strength was assessed using double leg lowering test then the core muscle endurance was assessed using McGill trunk endurance test. Then the handwriting speed was assessed using handwriting speed test. Results: Pearson’s correlation analysis was done to find the relationship between handwriting speed and core strength, r value was calculated between double leg lowering test, Mcgill trunk endurance test and hand..
